Purpose of CAI
The purpose of CAI is to identify and define new and potentially disruptive defense capabilities. The Center operates on these organizing principles:
- Sources for military innovation and adaptation will no longer be limited to traditional means.
- Many adaptations and innovations will come from advances in the commercial sector.
- Current requirements and acquisition processes do not create capability at the required pace of the operating environment.
- Innovative thought will continue to provide strategic and operational advantage.
